Alleged VIPs Flood BTS’s Instagram With Hate, ARMYs Respond In the Best Way
ARMYs have banded together to battle recent hate comments on BTS‘s Instagram. The comments were allegedly left by some members of BIGBANG‘s fandom, VIP.
Like most fandom rivalries, the rivalry between BTS fans and BIGBANG fans can be traced back to the classic “whose bias group is the biggest/best?” debate. Recently, however, it has gone far beyond that. Tensions between VIP and ARMY have been building ever since the Burning Sun scandal began.
Although BTS have no connection to BIGBANG Seungri‘s scandal, their widespread popularity has made them easy targets for criticism. ARMYs too claim to have been “attacked”, despite not being involved in the situation.

Recently, BTS’s official Instagram account was flooded with hateful comments directed at BTS and ARMYs. The comments were allegedly made by “vapes”, immature BIGBANG fans who do not represent the VIP community as a whole.
To combat this negativity, and to keep BTS from reading the hate comments, ARMYs have flooded BTS’s Instagram posts with purple hearts.

On Twitter, ARMYs have asked VIPs to address the issue, and to discourage “vapes” from bringing BTS into it.
VIPs please clean your fandom and tell them to not infest the boys social media with their bullsh*t; we can be your punching bags as usual, but please leave bts out of it for they have nothing to with this issue.

ARMYs have also apologized to VIP for the BTS fans who have involved themselves in “#SeungriRetirementParty”, and more.
#SeungriRetirementParty Please don't do this… Whatever fandom are you please don't judge seung ri like this… As an fandom we should support them, hug them, and do positive comment to entertain and support them. To #VIP I am really do apologize for army that made a bad comment
